Treasure Chest Thursday

I chose these silhouettes of my grandma Sally for Treasure Chest Thursday. I don't see this done much today and didn't know much about it at all until I seen these. My grandma says she was about 6 when these were done. Her aunt liked getting them. I think it's cute that you can see the little bow in the black silhouette. Luckily I have a lot of pictures of my grandma, but if I didn't i would be thrilled to have even this.

I remember every kindergartner had these done...maybe for Mother's day? I remember the teacher lining us up and we sit still while she ran a pencil over our profile.Welcome to the geneabloggers family!

About Tiff

I love genealogy so much that I worked in the field at the Midwest Genealogy Center from 2004-2011. I now volunteer teaching classes. I have been working on my own genealogy since about 2002 and absolutely love it. Newspapers are my passion. I am working towards my certification in Genealogy. I have taught many genealogy classes and recently taught at the Midwest genealogy expo. I also taught at the Kansas Genealogy Society annual conference. I also particpate in RAOGK.org and do professional research at a reasonable rate.
My other loves are my doggy Sierra, reading and spending time with my significant other.
